Rhythm and Resonance™ – at the Austin Salt Cave

Therapeutic Group Drumming and Meditative Sonic Immersion with Halotherapy.

Sound Healing for Consciousness-Based Wellness.

Relax, reduce stress and rejuvenate!

“The highest goal of music is to connect one’s soul to their Divine Nature.”– Pythagoras (569-475 BC)

Sound and music are nutrients for the nervous system and the soul.

Come immerse yourself in the healing, meditative atmosphere of this sonic experience of relaxation, restoration, and realization.

The evening will begin with an empowering interactive, therapeutic, group drumming experience designed to reduce stress. You will be guided through a 10 step interactive drumming experience, developed to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual components of restoring a sense of inner balance. We will provide all the drums and percussion instruments necessary. No previous drumming or musical experience required.

Immediately after the interactive group drumming experience, the evening will conclude with meditative sonic immersion combined with halotherapy. A meditative sonic immersion, or sound bath, has been shown to reduce pain, lower stress levels and to promote healing. Halotherapy is very beneficial for overall wellness by removing the toxicity from the respiratory system, improving the function and appearance of the skin and boosting the immune system.

“Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life”
– Ludwig van Beethoven

Halotherapy (salt aerosol therapy) is extremely beneficial in the treatment of a number of respiratory and skin conditions. Salt has antibacterial properties and can create an environment within your body that is unwelcoming to microbes, all while not causing irritation to the mucous membranes. A natural way to aid in the treatment of illnesses, salt will lead to a healthier you. Stress is one of the most common health issues today. Chronic stress can have long-lasting unhealthy consequences—compromising your sleep, your immune system, your physical health, and your emotional well-being. According to the noted cellular biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, over 95% of all disease-related ailments in this country are created by stress.

More About Sonic Immersion

As the name suggests, a sonic immersion (sound bath) saturates participants in soothing sonic resonant frequencies created by instruments such as crystal singing bowls, chimes, drums, and gongs. The benefits of a sonic immersion are the same as meditation: increased focus and clarity, decreased anxiety, and a heightened capacity for empathy, and more. The difference lies in that all of these benefits can be achieved in your first session! The music of a sonic immersion prepares the mind for meditation and can serve as a shortcut to the deeply relaxed state of mindfulness and meditation.
